Doesn't this seem a bit weird? Normally you'd have a tie to the organization, other than through 312 ex-Red Sox playing and working there, right?soxhop411 said:@MDGonzales: Kevin Youkilis is joining the Cubs as a special assistant

It's a good day in Cubs camp when Daniel Bard throws 94-96 and "feels the best I've felt in years"

Another Great day for #Cubs Daniel Bard! Simulated game with LH and RHs. A lot of strikes with all 3 pitches and 95-98 mph!

Epstein may sign him :rolling:cardiacs said:Wily Mo Pena cranked a home run today for Rakuten. I had a "WTF???" moment as it registered who I was looking at on TV.... He looks fatter. It was nice to see him being productive and seemingly wanted.

Part of the trade bounty from the Andrew Bailey trade with the Red Sox after the 2011 season, Miles Head put up a big year at high Class A Stockton in 2012, hitting .382 with 18 homers in 67 games to earn a midseason promotion. His tenure with the Athletics is over, though, after a pair of injury-wracked years at Double-A Midland. All told, Head hit .233/.292/.352 with 14 homers in 624 plate appearances for the RockHounds in parts of three Texas League seasons.
